Tell me why

I don't understand why the minor differences among people are magnified and the similarities are overlooked.

Tell me why the color of someone's skin should be a determination for how they are treated
Tell me why males and females fight against each other, compete or take advantage of one another
Why should outward standards of appearance be the judge of one's character?

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” Maya Angelou
